New Member in RI / MA

[Katelyn Latour]

Hi All,

I am excited to have joined BP and can't wait to see all that it has to offer. While I do not have any experience in REI, I am extremly interested in building knowledge so that I can get started sooner rather than later.

I currently live in RI but work in Boston,MA. I do not own a home right now, and thought that investing in a property in a commuter location would be a good way to start growing my assets, while easing the commute a bit. I have been thinking about Attleboro (but am open to other locations), somewhere within walking distance to the train station. I would either like to find a single family to live in and fix up short term (rent or sell afterwards), or a duplex along the same lines. If this initial project works out, I would like to continue investing for the long term. 

I am wide open to tips and suggestions for getting started; especially in relation to picking the best market, as well as finding an ideal first property. 

Thanks!

Katelyn
